    Owned an AutoGyro Calidus and regularly flew the lake district in the UK. The flying club took week long trips out to Scotland every year, and we would be 10 gyros strong, like some mad sky biker gang! Best days of my life! I had to sell my baby in 2017, due to financial strain.. Also, I passed my general flying test on the day the Icelandic volcano erupted and grounded all commercial aviation, but not us crazy gyronauts!

    Hi Ben. Very nice video where you use the capabilities of the 360 well. I have some X3 footage from last year and your work makes me want to do another, better video of my footage. I also fly a MTO Sport (converted MT-03) with the 914 115 HP engine. It's nice you have the integrated coolers with your 100 HP 912 uls. Ususlly the 912 has a stupid cooler right in front of the propeller. This is much better.

    Hi Ben, I can't believe how much the PC Airport has grown and the changes made since I was there back in 1984-85. I was the weekend manager. I lived in Easley at the time and worked for the Greenville Hospital System as well as in law enforcement. I am now in Ohio. I'm a commissioner for the Huron County Airport (5A1) located just outside of Norwalk, OH. I fly an AR-1 Gyro. I've been an aircraft private pilot since 1978 but took up the Gyro last year. Would love to fly down to visit sometime. I still have a couple of friends that live in the Easley area. Thanks for the video. Brought back many memories. Great job! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Fly safe!

On the outbound flight I used an extendable selfie stick to get the external views. On the return flight I mounted it high on the mast. The phone app or computer app allows you to select the views and effects afterwards. Then you can put the clips together with tunes and transitions in any video software program.

    Sure enjoyed your flight and camera work Ben. It was fascinating to see from the air Hogback, Tryon Peak, and White Oak mountain that I am so familiar with from the ground. Just 3 weeks ago I hiked 8 miles RT on Hogback Mountain Road from near Hoghead Mountain to Hogback. Many Thursdays after being at the St. Luke's infusion center, I drive up Skyuka Mountain Road on to White Oak Mountain Road and back down, hiking at several trails along the way where I photograph butterflies and search for rare Appalachian species of butterflies.
